Mid-century - New Creator Theme
That's right, our latest creator theme is Mid-century. Time to break out the glass and wood paneling and hang with Frank Lloyd Wright, design an entire capital city (looking at you, Brasilia), kick back in your Eames chair, embrace the power of the atom, or try to take up a new career in the glitzy and cut-throat world of advertising!Show off your sleek and swanky uploads with the #themeMidCentury tag on your theme-appropriate upload, and you'll receive a snazzy achievement sticker on your profile.
This theme runs for three months, from now until
But don't worry, #themeBusiness peeps, we haven't forgotten you! You should be getting your stickers by the end of today. Here's all of the awesome talent on display.

Damn. I thought the new theme was 80s/90s but I just realized I actually dreamt that, and it didn't really happen. A worrying amount of my dreams lately have been CC-related. Gonna be pretty cool if this one spawns some new quality CC though, Mid-Century never gets old and there's a load of it already. I think the Store has a whole category dedicated to it and TS4 has that Bowling pack thing.
I was going to upload a set of snazzy new old outfits for the Business theme but I didn't make it in time. What would happen if I uploaded it at a later point in time with all the right hashtags?

Ewww))) I just googled mid-sentury and found I have zero ideas about this theme. Time to joy with chirping cicades inside my head?)))
Here you can see more of my creations and conversions for sims 3. ;) I`ll glad to see your comments in.

Isn't it till mid-October instead of mid-September if it is 3 months? It's already July.

I'm just amazed that you guys are doing 3 month themes now, and that's still too short for me to come up with anything.

I think I misunderstood Mid Century. I thought it meant Medieval (like the mid of all centuries), but by seeing another upload in the theme I realized it's about the fifties (which is the same as a previous theme Vintage, that is why I thought of Medieval)?
So is it Medieval of fifties (vintage)?
Also I saw that Lyralei just added #thememidcentury to an old upload that is indeed thememidcentury.
Are we allowed to do that or must it really be uploaded between mid July and mid October 2019?

I've never heard Mid-Century used as a name for the Middle Ages. To my knowledge, Mid-Century Modern or MCM (as it's usually called) refers to certain design from the early 50s up to the mid 60s.
Basically the current theme is Mad Men if the last couple of seasons got cancelled, which is great because it opens the door right up for That '70s Show, Miami Vice and Friends to take over afterwards.

Not sure actually, but found this by mid-sentury hash
My opinion: mid-sentury is so-called retro. Less expressive and boastful. Simple words. Retro.
I had some objects made by Awesims. I'd say this creator made in Mid-sentury style)

Ok I understand it's not Medieval.
So basically it's the same as the past theme Vintage?

It's absolutely not the same as vintage, because "vintage" isn't a style. There is some overlap between MCM and retro, but retro is quite a vague term nowadays and can be used to refer to anything from between the 40s and the 90s. MCM, however, is much better defined and has nothing to do with "vintage" or "retro" since both of those things aren't typically modern. Modernism and MCM are modern.
Modernism and mid century modern are much like postmodernism and Memphis-Milano. The former may not sound as specific but they are.

Look up reikus13 tumblr. She makes lots of mid century modern recolors. More than enough to give you an idea.

Just Google "mid century modern" and look at 10 pictures. You'll notice a pattern by #5, and a rock solid aesthetic by #10. Our living room is MCM-esque, it's really the best of both worlds. Some of this furniture was very expensive 50 years ago.

Mid-century, meaning the middle of the 20th century. I would say about 1940-1960 would count.

Yes, but considering the war and the post-war economic boom, it's about 10 years later. 1950 to 1970, broadly.

I don't know if they will be so technical if you are ten years to one side or the other it will probably do. But I am guessing they will want it to be post-war without moving into 80's big hair.

Yeah, that's my territory. Not that I wouldn't be grateful if everyone suddenly decided to do that for 3 months, you guys have no idea how much work it'd take to create everything I need for this series.

Of course if you have a download that specifically works with a theme (Like the Midcentury beds I made) Then honestly go for it! But be aware that we do check downloads on if they actually are fitting that theme.
But! We do really recommend trying to come up with something new so there's more content and things to enjoy for everyone! I'm just setting a bad example :P

Does it work the other way? I had some stuff planned for the Business theme but couldn't finish it in time.

I guess I'll be fine with everything that has to do with Elvis Presley.

From what I know, we'll have a "Catch up" theme soon! So that should fix that for "expired" themes
